opened his eyes and turned them toward
the window from which could be seen the
slowly drifting smoke from the last embers
Of the Trevor House. With slight gasp,
he closed his eyes once more, and life was
extinct.
An examination Of the dead Indians per
son threw no light upon his identity, but
revealed enough to cast over him the
shadow Of profound mystery. From his
neck, suspended by o thong Of deerskin,
was one Of the brass medals, having hgire
Of the crucifx engraved upon It, once given
by the Jesuit missionaries to their Indian
converts. But the most important, - well
as the most mystifying fact, was the pres
ence Of the word ''Trevor," inscribed upon
the leathern thong in rude, but legible
characters.
Who was this man, and whence did he
comet Was he descendant Of the boy
who was stolen more than century and Q
half ago from this very house just burned
to the groundi What were the traditions
that perhaps had led him, like his aboriginal
forefathers Of two centuries before, to
come to the land Of his double-raced an
cestryl But whether the few facts known
concerning the last tenant Of the old Trevor
House were merely q singular coincidence,
or whether he was, in truth, Of the direct
line Of stout, old Sir Roger Trevor, whose
sword helped force the Magma Charta from
King Johns unwilling hands, the belief has
obtained q firm hold Of the romantic imag-
ination Of East Winston that the old house
and the last descendant of its builder passed
out Of being together-Geoyge II. Shepard, IN

VALUE OF BRAN.

One Of the Most Important Matters for the
Consideration Of Farmers.
The bran of the present is not the
bran of the past. The new process of
milling has greatly changed the charac-
ter of bran and has taken the starch
wholly out of it. Years ago the bran
of the country mills was mixture Of
small scales with good deal of the
coarser part of the flour with it. Now
it is clear yellow, flaky, scaly sub
stance which is dry and chaffy. The
difference chemically is as great as it is
apparently, and it is not to be inferred
that the bran of the present is at all
inferior to that Of twenty years ago.
when the analyses now in use were
made and published. These old analy-
ses given in the German feeding tables
are now useless and misleading, and in
studying questions relating to feeding
care should be taken to use only recent
American analyses. Some of these here
given are taken from the reports of
work done at the Connecticut Experi-
ment Station by Prof. w. o. Atwater.

a man be worth million dollars or

in more ornamental and pleasant

tinction between the saloons of the rich

The Great Work Being Carried On in the
Public schools Through the w. G. T. U.
Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, National Super
intendent Of Scientific instruction for
the w. c. 7. u, has officially an
nounccd four different tests for deter
mining the fitness of textbooks and
charts that purport to teach scientific
Temperance. As the time seems fast
approaching when our public schools
will require such works for their pre-
scribed course of study, it is essential
that they be most carefully selected.
Mrs. Hunts acquaintance with the
matter qualities her to speak with
authority, and the rules laid down by her
are deserving of attention from parents.
teachers and those who control our
educational forces throughout the
Republic. To them we commend her
utterances, which are SO tersely put
that they are given verbatim:
First-Are the origin and poisonous
character of alcoholic drinks described
that is. the nature of beer, wine, cider,
etc.p If only the effects of alcohol are
mentioned, and little or nothing is said
against the specific drinks containing
alcohol such book is incomplete, is
evasive and does not comply with the
laws which specify that ''the effects Of
alcoholic drinks" shall be taught-the
object being to warn the pupil against
such beverages, containing alcohol, as
he will be tempted to take.
Seconds the aforesaid topic made
the principle theme of the book, Or is it
subordinate to the physiologyp If so.
such book is not physiology and
hygiene, with special reference to the
effects of alcoholic drinks" etc.
Text books for intermediate and pri-
mary grades, to honestly comply with
the intent of the law, should at least
give one-forth of their space to alco-
holics and narcotics.
Third-Are the effects of these drinks
fully statedP If their agreeable results
are pictured, and, in the same cOnnec-
ton nothing is said of their dangers,
such book is unsafe. If tho boOi, de-
nounces drunkenness with little or no
warning against beginning to drink, it
will not offend the brewer or a moder-
ate drinker, and will not emphatically
teach total abstinence.
Fourth-The book should be adapted
to grade. If primary or intermediate
scholars can not understand the works
designed for them, the study of those
important grades will inevitably prove
q failure.-N. Y. Witness.
